Fat Pizza probed

AN episode of the SBS comedy Fat Pizza in which a drug deal is filmed and a group of schoolchildren watch a character smoke what looks likes marijuana is under investigation by the broadcasting regulator. The investigation by the Australian Communications and Media Authority of the episode, staged at Nimbin, coincides with John Howard's call for a crackdown on cannabis..

In a letter to Mr Woodworth, SBS insisted Fenech "carefully distanced himself" from the activities in the episode. But Mr Woodworth said SBS had refused to sign a statutory declaration that no real drugs were smoked in the episode.
